New Orleans-Atlanta match-ups rarely fail to produce drama and their week three meeting was no exception. Mark Ingram’s bruising 2-yard touchdown run and New Orleans’s subsequent two-point conversion capped off a wild fourth quarter and sent the game into overtime.
From there, the Saints (1-2) forced Atlanta (1-2) to punt on its first drive and proceeded to march into field goal range. Wil Lutz snuck a 47-yard attempt just inside of the left upright to secure a 38-35 Saints victory.
The field goal was Lutz’s third made attempt, he missed a 54-yard attempt during the first quarter, but his opportunity to play hero almost didn’t come to fruition.
